You Rock, Don't Every Change

Oh it's that time of year again; yearbook photos. 

There are so many possibilities in what to write in one's yearbook: there is the repeated, "Have a great summer!" or even, "Wow this year went by fast! Hope you have a good year!"
And of course you're going to get the ones, "I love you so much! I'm going to miss you! We have to hang out everyday this summer! Okay? LOVE YOU! xoxoxo".

But by far, my favourite yearbook quote has got to be, "you rock, don't ever change."  So cliche, right?  That's why it's perfect! Even though you know how cheesy it is, it will still make you smile when you read it!  I wish I could say I made this one up, but the credit has to go to Gordo on that one episode of Lizzie McGuire. Lizzie is asking Gordo about what she should write in the total hottie, Ethan Kraft's, yearbook, and Gordo tells her to write, "you rock, don't ever change", and Lizzie thinks that is like, the most cliche thing to write in you're crushes yearbook, but when Ethan comes up and asks her to write in his book, she writes, "you rock, don't ever change."

Lizzie, your courage to use such a slogan in your crushes yearbook has inspired lovers everywhere.

Yearbooks are a weird phenomenon. Now, you're probably thinking, "Weird? What is so weird about a book of all of your memories of high school?" That's just it; it's the one book that when you are older you regret when you children find it and pull it out, point out your horrible school picture from grade 10 (emphasis on horrible, I want to purposely lose that yearbook so my children never find it) and point out all the weird outfits everyone is wearing.  I have not yet to see my parents yearbooks, and I believe this is exactly the reason why.

So why do we love them so much?  Maybe it's because we like to scope out all the pictures we made it into, or scope out how many times the same people appear on every page (like last years yearbook, don't even get me started on that one), I really couldn't tell you the answer to this question. I too wait every year for the yearbook to come out, and as soon as I get it, I look through it once and then throw in my my sisters vacant room.

My signing for this years yearbook, "You rock, don't ever change, however, you just wasted $20".

I rest my case.  This meeting is adjourned.

"Yeah, well, there's lots of weird stuff in this world - tofu bacon, hairless cats, country music."
